Mount Sinai neuroscientist sheds light on how the brain stores memories across a lifetime

Denise Cai, PhD, an Assistant Professor of Neuroscience at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, has always been interested in the dynamic nature of memory. But she began to question precisely how the brain can store and recall so many memories over a lifetime while playing a "memory match" card game with her young son.

Does the brain thin as children grow?

Neuroscientists have long held that the brains of children thin down over time. However, this was on the basis of older imaging techniques. Now, using cutting-edge technology in the form of quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (qMRI), a team of researchers has found that the apparent thinning is due in part to myelin formation around the cortical nerve fibers. These very interesting findings, published in the journal PNAS on September 23, 2019, will drive further research on the link between cortical function and structure.
